man that bit in the beginning with rodger rabbit as played by malcom was just depressing. It was going for funny but it's kinda true. Nobody outside film buffs or animation history really cares about the film these days. You'd think with all the big attempts to make the next money making crossover based on "ooooh i member that from the thing that was good/popular." They'd be a rush to use him in something.

huh walker made a few good points in a video for once in a long time, i guess a broken clock is right twice a day.

Honestly, anytime something DOESN’T get a reboot or continuation these days, I’m thankful. The amount of good reboots/reimaginings/sequels/ect made these days I can count on one hand. So while I agree it sucks Roger doesn’t get used more, id hate to see what “current year” Jessica Rabbit and such would be.
 
Watching this, it feels…kind of nice seeing Doug just talking about a film he really likes, and all the behind the scenes talk really made the whole thing worth my time. Maybe shit like this is why Doug feels like doing the NC is still worthwhile.

Also, while I get the joke, the patty cake scene is sold just by how everyone plays it.


I could never watch that full bit with the Judge’s toon eyes all the way through until I was in my 20’s. Shit scared the piss out of me.

Same, Hell stuff happening to eyes still freaks me out due to Judge Doom.
Not sure how old I was when I first watched it, but I remember I took the scenes with The Dip and Judge Doom’s eyes pretty well.

Amen to that. Hell, it’s probably harder to name the shit that isn’t DOA. The only one I can think of that didn’t shit the bed right away was the Carmen Sandiego Netflix show.

He’s had a few episodes recently where he talks about movies he likes or enjoys. They typically are the ones more people enjoy.

The Ducktails reboot was actually really good too.

This was posted on their facebook channel today and the title card just made me feel cringe. That Nostalgia Critic character is the animator's (Tony Crynight is his youtube name) Fursona dressed up as and acting like NC throughout the entire review

I can't believe I am saying this, but I was quite surprised with Doug's NC review on Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It seems as if he was genuinely passionate about this movie that he didn't breakdown by doing awful skits or even riff on the film (though there were a few corny, lame jokes as with many Doug videos, but to my surprise they're not as cringe).

Sure, this isn't the only time he tackled this film as he previously did so many years ago during Disneycember, and even then he sounded very passionate as with this one. However, I won't be surprised if the next review on Ready Player One will be back to its cringe roots, so I can't keep being optimistic about this sudden change of pace.

Take what you can get, my man.

Maybe Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of those films that he has some deep nostalgia for. Something that he does hold close to his heart for some reason.

It's actually kind of ironic in a way that Doug's best work nowadays is when he talks about shit he likes or has some actual nostalgia for.
Doug's best work has always been when he discusses stuff he actually cares about, as opposed to "reviewing" it. Doug is not a good reviewer and actual critique has never really been his forte, but he does give off a sense of passion when he's talking about art he actually admires or has an appreciation for. Probably the best example of this is his Siskel and Ebert review, where you can really see how much he respected and looked up to Siskel & Ebert.

His Dark Toons series also provides some material for him that he is passionate about and that's created some of his better videos in the last few years.
